Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, has announced that two friendly governments have given their commitment to assist Dominica in the construction of a much-talked-about international airport.

Speaking at the presentation of the National Budget yesterday, he also said there is an agreement “in principle” from a firm to provide funding for such a facility.

“I am therefore pleased to inform this Honourable House that progress is being made towards the realisation of the international airport,” Skerrit said according to a report by Dominica News Online.

“In addition, two friendly countries have given commitments to assist with various aspects of the airport,” he stated, without naming the friendly governments.

“We propose to commence negotiations in September 2018, for the 50 acquisition of private lands and properties necessary to facilitate the construction of the international airport,” the Prime Minister said, adding that an international airport will help secure the island’s investment in tourism.

He vowed that his government will build an international airport in Dominica.
